Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande de direction pour véhicule comportant: un dispositif (14) d'angle de direction variable qui modifie une relation entre une position de manœuvre d'un volant (20) de direction actionné par un conducteur pour diriger et un angle de direction des roues avant; et un dispositif (16) de commande d'angle de direction qui met en œuvre une commande automatique de direction des roues avant (S200) afin de commander une trajectoire du véhicule en commandant le dispositif de variation de l'angle de direction. Lorsqu'il est mis fin à la commande d'angle de direction (S100), le dispositif de commande d'angle de direction met en œuvre une commande d'arrêt (S600) pour éliminer une erreur, ou une N-erreur, dans la relation entre la position de manœuvre et l'angle de direction des roues avant. Lorsque la vitesse de manœuvre de la direction est faible, la vitesse à laquelle est éliminée la N-erreur est diminuée par rapport au cas où la vitesse de manœuvre de la direction est importante (S400).
